The beading! The detailing! The designs! The white gowns from the 2015 Oscars were so beautiful, we guarantee they will be all over your wedding Pinterest board in the morning. In fact, white was such a huge trend on the red carpet, four out of the five best actress nominees opted to wear a couture or custom gown in this bridal hue. See below to find out how white can be done right on the red carpet and get inspired for your own wedding day!

Lupita Nyong’o

Last year’s best supporting actress winner is no stranger to a red carpet risk, but this Calvin Klein gown exceeded all of our expectations. This hand-sewn Francisco Costa design used five different variations of over 6,000 pearls.

Reese Witherspoon

The Wild star and best actress nominee had an instant wow-moment when she arrived at the 2015 Oscars in this black and white Tom Ford gown. We love her classic (yet stunning) diamond earrings and bracelet and the off-the-shoulder sleeves.

Julianne Moore

The 2015 Oscars red carpet was all about showing off stunning couture gowns with extraordinary detailing — including this custom Chanel creation. The best actress nominee said the Karl Lagerfeld design took over 927 hours to make. And the cherry on top? Jaw-dropping Chopard diamonds.

Jennifer Aniston

Just like at Bridal Fashion Week, delicate beading was having a serious moment at the 2015 Oscars. And even though the Cake actress was snubbed an Oscar nomination, she had the last word when she showed up right before showtime in this blush-tone, beaded Versace gown. Her classy-yet-sexy slit, rose gold heels and simple makeup puts her at the top of our best dressed list.

Felicity Jones

You can’t go wrong when you hit the red carpet in Alexander McQueen. This best actress nominee stunned in a off-grey, high collar ball gown with intricate embellishments, but kept her look on-point with a simple updo and dangling earrings — because with all that detailing, simple accessories and makeup are a must!

Marion Cotillard

This best actress nominee opted for a sequined Dior Couture gown to standout on the red carpet. But unlike her fellow nominees, we like how she edged up look with black nails and a graphic cat eye.

Weddings are an old tradition, but that doesn’t mean you have to look traditional! The Knot Magazine spring issue is on newsstands now with lots of unique ideas that will inspire you to add something unexpected to your wedding day look. Don’t be afraid to go against the grain for a look that’s totally your style and something you’ll feel comfortable in. Whether it be wearing your favorite sneakers under your ball gown, or throwing your favorite sweater over your frilly skirt—your perfect wedding day style is all in the little details. Here are eight not-so-traditional bridal looks we love, as shot for our spring issue by Katrine Rohrberg. See the photos below and pick up the issue for more wedding day fashion and beauty inspiration!

Take a cue from ready-to-wear style and pair statement jewelry with a simple gown. It could even be some costume pieces from your grandmother, which hit both your “something old” and “something borrowed.” Dress. $4,500, RosaClaraBridal.com; engagement ring, $3,895, FredericSage.com; necklace, $735, Enchanted Atelier, KleinfeldBridal.com; handcuff, $155, ColetteMalouf.com

3. Skip The Dress

You don’t have to wear a gown to get a high-fashion look. This lace pantsuit has the best of both worlds: a menswear-inspired silhouette and a flirty tulle train. Pantsuit, $7,590, Rivini.com; engagement ring, $3,000, TimelessDesigns.com; earrings, $20,460, CarlaAmorim.com; shoes, $140, Ivanka Trump, Nordstrom.com

4. Get Flashy

In case you haven’t noticed, tattooed are having a major moment. A temporary one can play up metallic embellishments in an edgier way than straight jewelry. These Lulu DK ones last just a few days. Dress, $2575, Hayley Paige, JLMCouture.com; engagement ring, $3,850 (not including center stone), SimonGJewelry.com; earrings, $98, rings; $45 each, ColetteMalouf.com; temporary tattoos, $22 for 2 sheets, Lulu DK, Bloomingdales.com

The Grammy Awards are known for unpredictable, edgy fashion (remember the dress code restrictions of 2013?), so we were a little surprised to see so many white dresses and wedding-worthy trends hit the Red Carpet this year. Celebrities like Anna Kendrick and Charli XCX put their own cool twist on the classic tuxedo, Chrissy Teigen wore a revealing stark white number with daring cutouts and the one-and-only Beyonce shined in an ethereal crystal-encrusted dress with a dramatic cape for her performance of the gospel song “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.”

We’ve rounded up our top three bridal trends from the 2015 Grammy Awards. Tell us, would you rock any of these looks on your wedding day?

Take a cue from ready to wear and throw on a sleek menswear-inspired pantsuit for your reception or after party.

The Grammy Awards are all about over-the-top style (think: plunging necklines, lots of leather and flirty shorter silhouettes). After all, an awards show just for rockstars should offer up some pretty amazing fashion! While we eagerly wait to see what daring looks actually hit the red carpet at 8 p.m EST on CBS tonight, we rounded up some of our favorite edgy wedding dresses that wouldn’t look out of place on stage at the Staples Center, and we didn’t have to look far.

If you’re a non-traditional bride looking for some fashion-forward gown inspiration, you’re in luck. This year’s hottest wedding dresses are all about unexpected details: feather skirts, metallic fringe, sexy sheer skirts and even silver leather. Pair a heavily embellished gown with minimal accessories like barely-there strappy heels and a simple headpiece or ultra-sheer cut edge veil that won’t detract from your dress.

Tutus may not be the first things that come to mind when you think of wedding dresses, but if you’re in the market for a flirty second dress, consider a shorter tulle number like this sexy one by Reem Acra. Pair a flouncy skirt with satin flats in a soft pastel pink and delicate floral hair accessories to give a elegant nod to classic ballet costumes. Looking to take it to the next level? Polish of your tutu dress with a pretty bouquet of pink peonies for a wedding outfit that is totally stage-worthy.

Vintage wedding dresses are all the rage right now and we can’t get enough of them. Intricate lace, Art Deco accessories and heirloom jewelry give an instant elegant feel and are a fun nod to the traditions and fashions of the past. (PS: If you’re looking for wedding dress designers with seriously pretty vintage designs, try the new dress lines from Romona Keveza, Monique Lhuillier and Claire Pettibone.)

While wearing a vintage-style wedding dress can be totally unique and beautiful, have you ever noticed that a vintage-style bridal look can look a little too much like a costume rather than a pretty wedding dress? We brought this up to one of our favorite stylists, Annie Cavallo of WellStyled Events (who, by the way, just happened to style our fabulous spring issue of The Knot magazine!) and she armed us with lots of good insider tips to pulling off a vintage ensemble. The top three are right here!

1. Accentuate Your Neckline

Think less about tulle layers and more about interesting details or necklines that allow you to add statement accessories, Cavallo advises. If you’re repurposing your mom’s or grandma’s dress you’ve got a head-start already, but if you are buying a new dress and still want the “old feel” of an heirloom, look for lace gowns with a slim silhouette.

2. Try A Whimsical Veil or Hair Piece

A bird cage veil is the quintessential vintage look, according to Cavallo. The best part is that there are a ton of different bird cage veil styles to fit just about any vintage dress or neckline style. For hair accessories and veils, the old-fashioned touches are in the fun details like lace, feathers or a brooch that might even be your grandmother’s.

3. Consider Embellished Shoes

Shoes with beading or crystal embellishment will give your look an opulent boost and play off the intricate details of a lace gown. If you’re in the market for colorful bridal shoes, think blush or gold—they’re still fun and feminine, but feel softer and more antique than bolder hues, Cavallo says.

We’re obsessed with the bride and groom-inspired looks we saw during the 2015 SAG Awards last night! (Seriously, was it an awards show or a wedding?) From two glamorous and unexpected tuxedo styles to one stunning wedding dress, see our favorite bridal-inspired looks below.

After Zooey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik’s pregnancy and engagement were announced, we immediately started thinking about wedding dress predictions for the New Girl star! While we’re not sure if she’s going to accessorize with a bump on her wedding day or not, we rounded up five of our favorite whimsical looks for Zooey that work either way:

Pnina Tornai Gave Us All The Details About the 'Honeymoon in Vegas' Wedding Dress She Designed!http://blog.theknot.com/2015/01/22/pnina-tornai-gave-us-all-the-details-about-the-honeymoon-in-vegas-wedding-dress-she-designed/

Pnina Tornai is no stranger to designing bold, sexy wedding dresses — so it’s fitting that the Pnina Tornai for Kleinfeld designer was asked to create a gown especially for a Las Vegas wedding! Well, a Las Vegas wedding in New York City, to be specific. Pnina was tasked in making a wedding dress for Broadway’s new musical Honeymoon in Vegas, starring Tony Danza, in collaboration with the show’s costume designer, Brian Hemesath — and after we saw the beautiful, light-as-a-feather tea-length creation, we had a few questions for her.

The Knot:What inspired the Honeymoon in Vegas wedding dress?

Pnina Tornai: I tried to imagine a wedding in Vegas, and came up with a dress that’s comfortable to dance in — not like a huge ball gown — and something that a bride could wear for a real wedding, even though it’s for a fantasy wedding. I wanted something shorter, something nice and light.

PT: My last collection was all about very sexy dresses with surprise removable skirts, so brides can have both looks in one evening. She can wear a full ball gown for the entrance and ceremony, and then remove the skirt and enjoy the evening. I also love open backs and lots of bead work.

PT: I think the more dresses, the better! You only have one night like that, so you might as well go all the way. I wore three dresses when I got married 16 years ago! I had a ceremony gown, a dancing dress and a beautiful denim separates ensemble embroidered with stones. I’m happy about this trend. It’s about having more fun. It’s all about the bride!.

“The first look was dramatic,” Desiree told UsWeeklyvia E!. “I wanted them to be unique. It came down to imagining what I would look like when I saw Chris.” She wore a gorgeous one-shoulder gown down the aisle that had an illusion neckline with ivory lace over blush tulle, Swarovski crystals and a long train. We love her romantic look that was complemented by a long veil covering her waves swept to one side and a small crystal headpiece.

She chose an ethereal reception gown (that you can see here) with a plunging neckline and delicate silver beading, paired with Badgley Mischka heels and jewels from her Desiree for KV Bijou line. And as for her bridesmaids? Beautiful chiffon Donna Morgan gowns in a variety of raspberry-hued styles.

“It’s cliche to say, but it was a dream come true,” Desiree says.

“From start to finish the wedding and the reception epitomized what we’ve grown to appreciate and love about Desiree — both were authentically her — unpretentious while elegant; relaxed but refined,” says Bob Cahoon, President of Maggie Sottero Designs. “Maggie Sottero is honored to have played a part in making dreams a reality for Des and Chris, and we extend our warmest wishes to Mr. & Mrs. Siegfried for a lifetime of happiness and marital bliss.”
